Chapter 44: A Trip to Taishan (2)
Di Ming was running, and he was constantly calculating the time, as long as he rushed back to the temple where he had placed an order before six o'clock, the dinner was still guaranteed.
Run through the market and up the mountain road, just around the corner. However, just after turning the corner, Di Ming suddenly braked.
There was a man standing in the middle of the mountain road, and it looked like a woman. She wore a black trench coat and her long hair draped behind her. If it weren't for Di Ming's unusual eyesight, he might have hit his head on it.
Di Ming felt a little strange, how could there be such a woman standing here at this time period? Even if you want to place an order in the temple, it's impossible! There are strict rules in the temple.
"Hello, do you need help?" Di Ming kindly stepped forward and asked.
"No, you don't." The woman replied coldly.
"Oh, it's not too early, so you should hurry down the mountain." Di Ming said with a smile.
The woman stopped talking, but turned and walked down the mountain. From beginning to end, Di Ming didn't see the woman's appearance clearly.
Di Ming didn't think much about it, his mind had been fulfilled, and if he went too far, it would backfire.
Rushed to the temple, just as the temple gate was about to close. He saluted the little master with both hands, and ran to the hall in a hurry.
After eating fast, Di Ming returned to the guest room, washed up, and went to bed early. Somehow, since I came here, my schedule began to slowly assimilate with the masters in the temple.
Early the next morning, when the morning bell in the temple rang, Di Ming stretched a big lazy waist. I slept well last night, and I still had no dreams all night. The quality of sleep here is really good, and I can't say it.
In the same way, burn incense and salute, and listen to the morning lesson. The masters in the temple have gradually become familiar with Di Ming, and when they see Di Ming, they will simply chat with Di Ming.
"I'm out again today! I'll have to come back early in the evening! Tonight's food is made by the elder brother! One of his signature dishes is one of his signature dishes, don't miss it! ”
"Got it, I'll be back soon. Thank you! ”
After chatting with the little master who swept the floor at the door, Di Ming stepped out of the temple gate with a happy mood. He was going to visit a nearby pharmacy today, and he had wanted to come and see it many times before, so he took this opportunity to visit and study.
He had been there for a day, and when he felt that it was getting late, he immediately hurried back non-stop. But what he didn't expect was that at the same time, in the same place, he saw the woman again, and she was dressed the same as yesterday.
At this moment, Di Ming's curiosity was completely aroused, he took a few steps forward, kept a certain distance, and asked, "Hello, did we meet here last night, do you have something?" I'm just placing an order in this temple, if you want to find the master in the temple for something, I can convey it on your behalf. ”
"No, you don't." Still the same answer, still the same cold.
"Okay. Go down the mountain on your own and stay safe. After saying that, Di Ming went around to the front of the woman and continued to walk.
At this moment, on the middle finger of the woman's right hand behind him, a white light circled around the finger, and a white ring appeared. After the ring appeared, the two tiger teeth in her mouth also grew longer, but under her control, they were not revealed.
If Di Ming turned around at this time, he would definitely find that this woman's face was pale and oozing, without any blood at all, and her eyes were full of resentment and bloodthirsty impulses.
"It's getting dark early now, even if this is a Buddhist tourist attraction, you should go back early. It's still a bit unsafe to go out alone at night. ”
Di Ming just walked a few steps, and he still couldn't help but want to remind her, so he turned around and said this.
At the moment when Di Ming turned around, the woman returned to her previous state, but her body trembled slightly.
"Look, it's cold! Let's go back! After Di Ming finished speaking, he really didn't stay any longer and left.
After Di Ming left, the woman also stopped shaking, and turned around and walked slowly down the mountain.
In the dining hall, Di Ming ate the food in a big gulp, and he also thought silently in his heart, this dish is really delicious today, especially the specialty dish made by the senior brother, and he has nothing to say.
Seeing Di Ming's eating with relish, the senior brother in charge of the spoon today was also happy and kept laughing.
After eating the fast, Di Ming walked to his guest room, today he did not go to bed early, but crossed his legs and sat up. Feeling that there was still something missing, he reached out and picked up a scripture book on the table, and began to read.
This is the most common and most widely circulated Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, and he reads it over and over again until he slowly falls asleep while reciting it.
In the vast white space, the fog on the ground was churning, and there was no edge to be seen around, and the sky could not be seen when I looked up.
Although I don't feel the danger here, there is an inexplicable sense of depression. This feeling of depression comes from my heart, from the depths of my soul.
He walked aimlessly, but in reality he was floating. Here I completely lost my sense of direction and belonging, as if I was the object of the world's oblivion.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was thinking in the right direction, he wanted to open his mouth but couldn't, he wanted to speak but couldn't make a sound.
I had already thought about what to say, but the words were stuck in my throat and I couldn't pronounce them.
He started to get anxious and started to get irritable. The speed of walking is getting faster and faster, and the fire in my heart is getting hotter and stronger. Slowly, he realized that he was running out of energy, so his speed slowed down.
In the end, he decided to stop, rest, and recover his physical strength, and in this place where he couldn't advance or retreat, and he didn't know what he would encounter, it was better to retain some physical strength.
He still wanted to speak, but the situation was the same as before, unchanged. He tried to read what he wanted to say in his heart, and the more he read it, the more he felt that his mind was clearer, and his whole spirit was lifted a little.
He remembered something, and began to recite the Buddha name of the King of Jizo Bodhisattva, and with the recitation of the Buddha name, his mind followed the Buddha's name and drifted to another place, and as the Buddha horn sounded more and more, the Taoist power of thinking was getting stronger and stronger.
Finally, after feeling a "click", he was finally able to speak, and the first thing he said was "Manjushri full of great wisdom leads me forward." ”
The sound reverberated through the space, and instead of getting smaller and smaller as usual, it was getting louder and louder. The sound is like a bell, full of power.
He couldn't see a straight ray of light in the sky, enveloping him, and the Sanskrit sound was lingering in the light, but he didn't understand it at all. However, this did not prevent these Sanskrit sounds from entering his heart and nourishing his soul.
A sense of comfort spreads throughout the body, and a sense of tiredness wells up in my heart. At this moment, a voice shouted like a morning bell and a dusk drum: "Di Ming wake up!" ”
Di Ming, who was in the room, stumbled and fell off the bed.
"Pain, pain, pain" Di Ming touched his head and stood up from the ground, he knew that he had just had a very strange dream, this dream was probably related to his recitation of scriptures before going to bed, otherwise how could there be that burst of Sanskrit sound in the end?
Without thinking much about it, he stood up and was about to get a good night's sleep, but the temple bell remembered the next moment.
"No, this dream is so long, it's dawn in a blink of an eye!" Di Ming was very surprised, he didn't dream for a few days, and once in a while, he would see it until dawn, which made him a little unaccustomed for a while.
He washed up, went out of the guest room, and saluted as usual, but today he found a person who was earlier than himself, and this person himself had seen, that is, the sister-in-law he had met at the door of the hotel not long ago.
The sister-in-law was also very happy to see him, and greeted him from afar. Di Ming also smiled and waved his hand to greet her.
"Sister-in-law, you're really early today. Don't have to go to work today? How did you get here? After Di Ming put on the incense, he came to his sister-in-law's side and chatted with him warmly.
"No, my daughter just graduated from college, went to an interview a few days ago, was hired by a company, today is her first day of work, I came to burn incense, and asked the Bodhisattva to bless her to work in this company smoothly and peacefully." The sister-in-law's face was full of happy smiles.
"That's a good thing! I also wish my sister-in-law's daughter a smooth and safe work in that company! I think my sister-in-law's mind bodhisattva will receive it. Di Ming sincerely blessed.
"You're a good guy, boy. Sister-in-law, the more I look at it, the more I like it, are you married? How old is this year? Sister-in-law, I really want you to be my son-in-law! "My sister-in-law is a real person, and she can say whatever she wants.
"Hehe, thank you sister-in-law for your kindness, I don't want to get involved in this matter yet. I think your daughter will be able to find a better one than me. Di Ming hurriedly shook his head and said.
"Oops, that would be a shame. But can the young man and sister-in-law please you for one thing? The sister-in-law didn't stay long on this matter, and asked instead.
"Tell me, as long as I can do it, I'll do it for you." Di Ming replied with a smile.
"Okay, I'll talk about that sister-in-law! You can also know from the dress of my sister-in-law that my sister-in-law is an honest mountain person, and she rarely goes out, at most she goes around the town.
My daughter's place of work is in a large company in Taishan City. I wanted to see it, but I was afraid that it would affect her. But you can do it, young man! Can you help my sister-in-law to take a look and check it. This is also good for my sister-in-law to rest assured. ”
Looking at the concerned gaze of his sister-in-law, Di Ming agreed without hesitation. However, he asked another question: "Sister-in-law, I remember that you didn't tell me last time that there was a child at home?" Why is there another one this time? ”
"Silly boy, like us mountain people, it's not normal to have two or three babies!" The sister-in-law looked at Di Ming and said with a grin.
"I'm sorry, I forgot." Di Ming said embarrassedly.
After another conversation, the sister-in-law was sent outside the temple gate by Di Ming. Looking at the back of his sister-in-law leaving, Di Ming said silently, "It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world!" ”
